‘Sounded like an explosion’: Tesla crashes through wall, lands in backyard pool
PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) - Police in Arizona are investigating after a Tesla crashed into a pool in the Phoenix area on Friday.
KPHO reports that the crash happened around 8:45 a.m. at a home about 25 minutes away from downtown Phoenix.
Video from the scene showed the blue sedan appearing to have gone through a brick wall before landing fully submerged in a backyard pool.
A car seat was pulled from the pool, but officers said the driver was alone at the time of the crash.
The homeowner said he was getting ready for the day when he heard a loud noise from his backyard.
“I heard a sound that sounded like an explosion,” the homeowner said. “It sounded like a bomb went off.”
Authorities didn’t report any injuries in the incident. It’s not yet known what led up to the crash.

BATH, Maine — Marine 1st Lt. Harvey “Barney” Barnum jumped to the ground when he came under fire during an ambush in Vietnam that killed his radio operator and commander.
The Medal of Honor recipient, now 83, watched Saturday as his wife smashed a bottle of sparkling wine against the bow to christen the future U.S. Navy destroyer that’ll bear the name Harvey C. Barnum Jr.
He said he was speechless when he learned that a warship would bear his name. “As anybody that knows Barney Barnum knows, I’ve never been speechless,” he joked before the event.
The ceremony on Saturday at Navy shipbuilder Bath Iron Works was a tribute to the Vietnam War hero who during his first firefight was foisted into leadership of Marines who didn’t yet know his name because he’d just joined them a couple of days earlier.
Dignitaries included Maine’s governor and senators, as well as Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, who praised Barnum’s humility and generosity, in addition to being a war hero who inspired fellow Marines.
Gen. Eric Smith, the acting Marine Corps commandant whose nomination to lead the Marine Corps is being blocked by a Republican senator, called Barnum “an icon, a legend, a Marine.”
In an interview, Barnum said the combat was harrowing on that day, Dec. 18, 1965, during Operation Harvest Moon. His unit was outnumbered, caught off guard and separated from the larger battalion outside the village of Ky Phu in Quang Tin Province.
The ship’s namesake said he was scared like everybody else but he tried not to show it. The other Marines were looking to him, an artillery spotter, after their commander died, he said.
To launch a counterattack, he brandished a .45-caliber handgun and told the others to follow him. They did.
“It’s a tough business. But when it gets tough, the tough get going and that’s what Marines do,” he said. “We came together as a team. And, you know, there’s no fury unleashed that’s greater than that of a bunch of Marines that know that their buddies have been shot.”
Barnum later became the first Medal of Honor recipient in the Vietnam conflict to return for another tour. He retired from the Marine Corps as a colonel after nearly three decades of service and served the secretary of defense as principal director of drug enforcement policy, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for reserve affairs, and acting assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs.
Barnum, of Reston, Virginia, was born in Cheshire, Connecticut, and studied at Saint Anslem College, a Benedictine college in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The school’s abbot, Mark Cooper, delivered the invocation on Saturday.
The event was a family affair for Barnum, who now lives in Virginia.
His wife, Martha Hill, served as the ship’s sponsor. At the event Saturday, she was in a wheelchair; Barnum has been her care provider since she had a stroke more than five years ago. Her daughter; two granddaughters, one of whom sang “God Bless America;” and an 11-year-old great-granddaughter were also participants at the event Saturday. Other family and friends were present.
Displacing 9,500 tons, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is built to simultaneously wage war against submarines, aircraft and missiles, and other warships. The newest versions are being equipped for ballistic missile defense.
The 510-foot (155 meters) guided-missile destroyer was in dry dock for the ceremony as work continues to prepare the ship for delivery to the Navy.

HAMPTON BEACH, N.H. — A small plane towing a banner landed in the ocean off a crowded New Hampshire beach on Saturday, and lifeguards rescued the pilot, who was unhurt, authorities said.
Hampton Police Chief Alex Reno told WMUR-TV that the pilot was rescued by lifeguards, and wasn’t hurt.
The plane has since been pulled to shore and was sitting on the beach.
The FAA said it would investigate the cause of the incident, along with the National Transportation Safety Board.
The Hampton Police Department and the New Hampshire Beach Patrol did not immediately respond to messages for comment. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/plane-crash-beach-new-hampshire/f2b9a6e2-2e3d-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html | 2023-07-29T18:59:06 | 1 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/2023/07/29/plane-crash-beach-new-hampshire/f2b9a6e2-2e3d-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |
Nearly two years after 10 people were crushed to death during the deadly 2021 Astroworld festival, no charges have been filed — even though some people, including event workers, expressed safety concerns.
“It’s a very difficult thing to say, unless you have some kind of clear evidence that somebody in charge, whose job it was to ensure safety and who should have known better, failed to take action,” she said.
A nearly 1,300-page report on the investigation into the tragedy released by Houston police Friday said contract worker Reece Wheeler told authorities that he saw a crush of people and warned an event organizer that people could die, shortly before rapper Travis Scott went onstage.
In the report, investigators wrote that Scott said he did see one person near the stage getting medical attention, but said that overall, the crowd seemed to enjoy the show. He said he did not see any signs of serious problems, nor did he hear anyone tell him to stop the show.
Hip-hop artist Drake, who also performed, told police it was difficult to see from the stage what was going on in the crowd and that he didn’t hear anyone call for the show to stop.
Despite no charges being filed, more than 500 lawsuits have been filed over the deaths and injuries at the concert, including many against concert promoter Live Nation and Scott. Some of those suits have since been settled.
Those who were killed ranged in age from 9 to 27, and all 10 people died due to compression asphyxia, according to medical examiners.
In June, a Texas grand jury declined to indict six people in the case, including Scott. Prosecutors said, then, that the circumstances of the deaths limited what charges they were able to present, eliminating potential counts such as murder, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Thompson said the sheer number of people involved in putting on the event, the large scale of it, and the high bar for proving criminal negligence or recklessness are challenges for prosecutors in cases like this.
“It goes back to, who knows what’s going on, is that being communicated?” she said. “Were they being told that people have died, and they still wanted the concert to go on? Or, were they being told that ‘Hey, some people are getting hurt, which might not be that unusual at an event like that?”
Assistant Harris County District Attorney Alycia Harvey said after the grand jury declined to issue indictments that prosecutors were left with only possible counts of endangering a child in connection with the deaths of the two youngest concertgoers, ages 9 and 14.
Scott’s lawyer, Kent Schaffer, has said that the performer was not responsible for the tragedy.
“He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt,” Schaffer said.
Scott has previously said he was unaware of the deaths until after the show. He has since created what he called Project HEAL, a $5 million initiative that includes funding for an effort to address safety challenges for festivals and large-scale events.
The police report said Scott told investigators that around the time Drake came onstage he was told to end the show after the performance, but that no one told him of an emergency.
Following the tragedy, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott formed a task force to study concert safety, and to recommend crowd control and security measures during mass gathering.
The task force in April 2022 reported that people without tickets entered the outdoor festival area hours before the performances began, overwhelming staff and leading to a variety of injuries. It also concluded that the process for issuing permits for mass gatherings is inconsistent statewide.
The task force recommended creating a command center that is authorized to pause or cancel a show in response to safety concerns.
“Sometimes, sadly, industries learn safety practices following disasters,” said Thompson, the law professor. “The standards for live concerts like this, I would imagine, are going to change.”

“Tomorrow or Monday will be my last game of cricket,” Broad told Sky Sports.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, a huge privilege to wear the Nottinghamshire and England badge as much as I have.
“It’s been a wonderful series to be part of and I’ve always wanted to finish at the top. This series just feels like it’s been one of the most enjoyable and entertaining that I’ve been part of.”

LOS ANGELES — Bronny James plays piano in a video posted by his father, LeBron James, on Saturday, five days after the teenager went into cardiac arrest during a basketball workout at the University of Southern California.
“A man of many talents,” the Los Angeles Lakers superstar can be heard saying in the background as Bronny finishes playing with his two younger siblings looking on.
TMZ posted photos of Bronny out to dinner with his family, which it says were taken Friday night. They show the teenager with his father outside celebrity hot spot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
Wearing black pants and a zip-up hoodie, Bronny carried his phone while standing outside the Italian restaurant.
Bronny was released from the hospital on Thursday. He will continue to undergo tests to determine the cause of his cardiac arrest, which occurred Monday morning during a workout at USC’s Galen Center.
Bronny, whose full name is LeBron James Jr., committed to USC in May after the 6-foot-3 guard became one of the nation’s top prospects out of Sierra Canyon School in nearby Chatsworth.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Even with sweltering heat, outside linebacker Harold Landry III couldn’t be happier about being back on the practice field for the Tennessee Titans.
“I’m ecstatic to be back,” said Landry, who started training camp on the active roster.
He’s not alone. Two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons made clear Saturday how happy he is with Landry back on the field. Offensive linemen won’t be able to sit on Simmons and smother him with double-teams.
“Guys like Harry, tackles are scared of his speed,” Simmons said. “They never know what may happen with him.”
Landry was the 41st pick overall in 2018 out of Boston College, and he had started 52 of 64 games before his injury last August in a practice closed to reporters. He went into 2021 as a contract season, and he produced a career-high 12 sacks that ranked 10th in the NFL.
He led the Titans with 14 tackles for loss and also ranked second on the team with a career-high 49 quarterback pressures. He has a team-high 31 sacks since 2018. Only Jevon Kearse had more sacks with 38 in his first four seasons for this team since sacks became an official stat in 1982.
That’s why the Titans declined to use the franchise tag on him, instead agreeing to a five-year extension worth $87.5 million with $52.5 million guaranteed in March 2022.
Landry seemed primed to build on that season along with both he and Simmons coming off Pro Bowl seasons. They helped the Titans tie for ninth with 43 sacks in 2021, then tied a league postseason record with nine sacks in a playoff loss to Cincinnati.
The Titans placed Landry on injured reserve Sept. 2 — nine days before the season opener. That was among the most costly injuries in a season where the Titans wound up using a league-high 86 players.
That left Tennessee in the middle of the pack with only 39 sacks last season with Simmons playing without Landry on the outside and on an bum ankle half the season. The Titans cut outside linebacker Bud Dupree as a salary cap saving move and signed Arden Key.
Landry tried to make the best of his injury, not only working on recovering but also spending the offseason working to learn more nuances of rushing passers and defending receivers.
“They got me right where we’re right on schedule for the season, and I’m excited about that,” Landry said.
Landry also has shared what he knows with backup linebacker Rashad Weaver, a fourth-round pick out of Pittsburgh in 2021. Weaver called Landry, “super smart, and he just knows everything about the defense.”
The Titans have been working Landry back in during the first days of camp, and coach Mike Vrabel said the linebacker’s energy and understanding of the defense has helped.
“He’s been great to communicate with as far as adding things each day,” Vrabel said. “We’re just getting started. But stringing some plays together, see how he responds, see how he feels, and then we’ll add more ... if that warrants.”
NOTES: The Titans had their first practice Saturday open to fans who got tickets through a lottery. Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk was among those who met with fans after practice. ... WR Treylon Burks made a nice catch of a deep pass in one drill. ... The defense got to celebrate when Weaver picked off a pass by Malik Willis intended for a tight end. But Willis, a third-round pick out of Liberty last year, bounced back on the next play with a deep completion to Chris Moore.

KYIV, Ukraine — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday signed a law moving the official Christmas Day holiday to Dec. 25 from Jan. 7, the day when the Russian Orthodox Church observes it.
Last year, some Ukrainians already observed Christmas on Dec. 25, in a gesture that represented separation from Russia, its culture and religious traditions.
The law also moves the Day of Ukrainian Statehood to July 15 from July 28, and the Day of Defenders of Ukraine to Oct. 1 from Oct. 14.
The Russian Orthodox Church, which claims sovereignty over Orthodoxy in Ukraine, and some other Eastern Orthodox churches continue to use the ancient Julian calendar. Christmas falls 13 days later on that calendar, or Jan. 7, than it does on the Gregorian calendar used by most church and secular groups.
The Catholic Church first adopted the modern, more astronomically precise Gregorian calendar in the 16th century. Protestants and some Orthodox churches have since aligned their own calendars for the purpose of calculating Christmas and Easter.
Ukraine’s religious landscape has fractured for years. There are two branches of Orthodox Christianity in the country, one aligned with the Russian church, even as it enjoys broad autonomy, the other completely independent of it. The Orthodox Church of Ukraine, the branch that is separate from the Russian church, announced earlier this year that it was switching to the Revised Julian calendar, which marks Christmas on Dec. 25.
Its leadership last year allowed believers to celebrate the holiday on Dec. 25.
Russia’s state news agency RIA Novosti reported on Saturday that the rival Orthodox Church, which is aligned with the Russian Orthodox Church, vowed to continue observing Christmas on Jan. 7.
Zelenskyy on Saturday traveled to the war-torn Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, which Russia has illegally annexed, but only partially occupies, and met with members of the country’s Special Operation Forces. Zelenskyy noted in an online statement that Saturday marks their official day of recognition and also the anniversary of the deadly attack on the Olenivka prison in the Russian-held part of the region in which dozens of prisoners of war were killed.
Russia and Ukraine accused each other of the attack, with both sides saying that the assault was premeditated in a bid to cover up atrocities. A United Nations fact-finding mission requested by Russia and Ukraine was sent to investigate the killings, but the team was disbanded in January 2023 due to security concerns.
Zelenskyy described the attack as one of Russia’s “most vile and cruel crimes” in a video statement Saturday. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/russia-ukraine-war-christmas-orthodox-church-calendar/0bf24862-2e39-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html | 2023-07-29T18:59:29 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/russia-ukraine-war-christmas-orthodox-church-calendar/0bf24862-2e39-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |
DAKAR, Senegal — Senegal’s opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has been charged with conspiracy against the state and calls for insurrections among other offenses, the public prosecutor said Saturday.
Prosecutor Abdou Karim Diop made the announcement on state television, a day after Sonko’s lawyer said he was taken into custody for questioning at the police courthouse in the capital, Dakar.
In June, Sonko was acquitted on charges of raping a woman who worked at a massage parlor and making death threats against her. But he was convicted on a lighter sentence of corrupting young people, which includes using one’s position of power to have sex with people under age 21. Corrupting youth is a criminal offense in Senegal that is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to more than $6,000.
The conviction led to deadly clashes across the country between Sonko supporters and police, where at least 23 people were killed and dozens injured.
Sonko placed third in Senegal’s 2019 presidential election and is popular with the country’s youth. His supporters maintain the charges against him are part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.
Sonko’s ongoing legal battles may bar him from running. Once in prison, he can ask for a retrial for his June conviction.
Saturday’s charges are separate, said the public prosecutor. The accusations include calling an insurrection, criminal conspiracy to commit terrorism, compromising public security and theft.
It is unclear what led to the charges. Sonko has mostly stayed in his house since being sentenced to prison.
In a tweet posted shortly before his arrest on Friday afternoon, Sonko said a team of soldiers were breaking down the door following an altercation with secret service agents who were taking videoing him.
Friday evening, an AP reporter saw around 20 protesters burning tires in the middle of the road in Parcelles Assainies, an outer neighborhood of Dakar. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/senegal-ousmane-sonko-opposition-politician-charged-insurrection/292f81b4-2e3a-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html | 2023-07-29T18:59:35 | 0 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/29/senegal-ousmane-sonko-opposition-politician-charged-insurrection/292f81b4-2e3a-11ee-a948-a5b8a9b62d84_story.html |
A judge in Georgia has now set a hearing date for a motion by former President Donald Trump's lawyers to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the potential case over criminal interference in the 2020 election.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Senior Superior Court Judge Stephen Schuster will hear the motion on August 10. He also directed both sides to submit their legal briefs by no later than August 8.
This comes as a possible indictment from the grand jury that could be handed down any day. Earlier this year, Willis said there would likely be a decision on an indictment in August.

Lawmakers broke for their August recess this week with work on funding the government largely incomplete, fueling worries about whether Congress will be able to avoid a partial government shutdown this fall.
Congress has until Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year, to act on government funding. They could pass spending bills to fund government agencies into next year, or simply pass a stopgap measure that keeps agencies running until they strike a longer-term agreement. No matter which route they take, it won't be easy.
“We're going to scare the hell out of the American people before we get this done," said Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.
Coons' assessment is widely shared in Congress, reflecting the gulf between the Republican-led House and the Democratic-led Senate, which are charting vastly different — and mostly incompatible — paths on spending.
The Senate is adhering mostly to the top-line spending levels that President Joe Biden negotiated with House Republicans in late May as part of the debt-ceiling deal that extended the government's borrowing authority and avoided an economically devastating default.
That agreement holds discretionary spending generally flat for the coming year while allowing increases for military and veterans accounts. On top of that, the Senate is looking to add $13.7 billion in additional emergency appropriations, including $8 billion for defense and $5.7 billion for nondefense.
House Republicans, many of whom opposed the debt-ceiling deal and refused to vote for it, are going a different way.
GOP leaders have teed up bills with far less spending than the agreement allows in an effort to win over members who insist on rolling back spending to fiscal year 2022 levels. They are also adding scores of policy add-ons broadly opposed by Democrats. There are proposals to reduce access to abortion pills, bans on the funding of hormone therapy and certain surgeries for transgender veterans, and a prohibition on training programs promoting diversity in the federal workplace, among many others.
At a press conference at the Capitol this past week, some members of the House Freedom Caucus, a conservative faction within the House GOP, said that voters elected a Republican majority in that chamber to rein in government spending and it was time for House Republicans to use every tool available to get the spending cuts they want.
“We should not fear a government shutdown," said Rep. Bob Good, R-Va. “Most of the American people won't even miss if the government is shut down temporarily.”
Many House Republicans disagree with that assessment. Rep. Mike Simpson, R-Idaho, called it an oversimplification to say most Americans wouldn't feel an impact. And he warned Republicans would take the blame for a shutdown.
“We always get blamed for it, no matter what,” Simpson said. ”So it’s bad policy, it’s bad politics."
But the slim five-seat majority Republicans hold amplifies the power that a small group can wield. Even though the debt ceiling agreement passed with a significant majority of both Republicans and Democrats, conservatives opponents were so unhappy in the aftermath that they shut down House votes for a few days, stalling the entire GOP agenda.
Shortly thereafter, McCarthy argued the numbers he negotiated with the White House amounted to a cap and “you can always do less.” GOP Rep. Kay Granger of Texas, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, followed that she would seek to limit nondefense spending at 2022 budget levels, saying the debt agreement “set a top-line spending cap — a ceiling, not a floor.”
The decision to cut spending below levels in the the debt ceiling deal helped get the House moving again, but put them on a collision course with the Senate, where the spending bills hew much closer to the agreement.
“What the House has done is they essentially tore up that agreement as soon as it was signed,” said Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. “And so we are in for a bumpy ride.”
Even as House Republicans have been moving their spending bills out of committee on party-line votes, the key committee in the Senate has been operating in a bipartisan fashion, drafting spending bills with sometimes unanimous support.
“The way to make this work is do it in a bipartisan way like we are doing in the Senate. If you do it in a partisan way, you’re heading to a shutdown. And I am really worried that that’s where the House Republicans are headed," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters this week.
McCarthy countered that people had the same doubts about whether House Republicans and the White House could reach an agreement to pass a debt ceiling extension and avoid a default.
“We’ve got 'til Sept. 30. I think we can get this all done," McCarthy said.
In a subsequent press conference, McCarthy said he had just met with Schumer to talk about the road ahead on an array of bills, including the spending bills.
“I don't want the government to shut down,” McCarthy said. “I want to find that we can find common ground.”
In all, there are 12 spending bills. The House has passed one so far, and moved others out of committee. The Senate has passed none, though it has advanced all 12 out of committee, something that hasn't happened since 2018.
Still, the difficulty ahead was evident on the House side, where Republicans gave up until after the recess on trying to pass a spending measure to fund federal agriculture and rural programs and the Food and Drug Administration, amid disagreements over its contents. They began their August recess a day early instead of holding votes Friday.
Simpson said some of his Republican colleagues don't want to take money approved already outside the appropriations process to cover some of this year's spending and avoid deeper cuts. For example, the House bills would take almost all of the money approved last year for the Internal Revenue Service in Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and use the savings to avoid deeper spending cuts elsewhere.
Simpson said that without such rescissions, as they are called in Washington, he couldn't vote for the agriculture spending bill because the cuts "would have just been devastating.”
“That's the challenge we're going to have when we get back in September,” he said.
Further complicating things in the House, a few Republicans are opposed to some of the policy riders being included in the spending bills. For example, the agriculture spending bill would reverse the FDA's decision to allow abortion pills to be dispensed in certified pharmacies, instead of only by prescribers in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices.
“I had a problem with abortion being put inside an ag bill," said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. "I think that's ridiculous."
It's a strong possibility that Congress will have to pass a stopgap spending bill before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. The Senate can vote first on the measure, which would put the onus on House Republicans to bring it up for a vote or allow for a shutdown. | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/members-of-congress-break-for-august-with-no-clear-path-to-avoiding-a-shutdown-this-fall/3306004/ | 2023-07-29T18:59:59 | 0 | https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/members-of-congress-break-for-august-with-no-clear-path-to-avoiding-a-shutdown-this-fall/3306004/ |

Simpson said that without such rescissions, as they are called in Washington, he couldn’t vote for the agriculture spending bill because the cuts “would have just been devastating.”
“That’s the challenge we’re going to have when we get back in September,” he said.
Further complicating things in the House, a few Republicans are opposed to some of the policy riders being included in the spending bills. For example, the agriculture spending bill would reverse the FDA’s decision to allow abortion pills to be dispensed in certified pharmacies, instead of only by prescribers in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices.
“I had a problem with abortion being put inside an ag bill,” said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa. “I think that’s ridiculous.”
It’s a strong possibility that Congress will have to pass a stopgap spending bill before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1. The Senate can vote first on the measure, which would put the onus on House Republicans to bring it up for a vote or allow for a shutdown.

Police: West Memphis man killed during police chase
JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) - A West Memphis man was killed after a dangerous chase with Arkansas State Police.
According to a Saturday news release, 32-year-old Demarcus Clark was killed on July 28, at around 10 p.m. due to a tactical vehicle intervention (TVI) by ASP at the 283-mile marker of Interstate 40 East.
Police say Clark was endangering the lives of other motorists by exceeding 120 miles per hour and driving recklessly.
The release says the pursuit started with Marion police earlier in the evening, but they requested assistance from ASP after Clark fled from a traffic stop.
An ASP Sergeant was injured following the TVI after Clark’s vehicle collided with his. He was treated and released from the hospital.
“As ASP Troopers, we take our duty to protect the public seriously,” said ASP Colonel Mike Hagar. “Last night, our Troopers put into action their oath to always put the lives of innocents ahead of their own and ahead of a suspect who made the reckless choice to flee from law enforcement. Although we regret any loss of life, we thank God that our brave Troopers made it home safe to their families.”

‘Sounded like an explosion’: Tesla crashes through wall, lands in backyard pool
PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) - Police in Arizona are investigating after a Tesla crashed into a pool in the Phoenix area on Friday.
KPHO reports that the crash happened around 8:45 a.m. at a home about 25 minutes away from downtown Phoenix.
Video from the scene showed the blue sedan appearing to have gone through a brick wall before landing fully submerged in a backyard pool.
A car seat was pulled from the pool, but officers said the driver was alone at the time of the crash.
The homeowner said he was getting ready for the day when he heard a loud noise from his backyard.
“I heard a sound that sounded like an explosion,” the homeowner said. “It sounded like a bomb went off.”
Authorities didn’t report any injuries in the incident. It’s not yet known what led up to the crash.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Of the 20 states restricting gender-affirming hormone therapy, nearly half are being challenged in federal court.
At the heart of these lawsuits is this question: Do bans on gender-affirming care violate the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment?
(A reminder: The Fourteenth Amendment says states can't deprive people of liberty without due process and can't deny people equal protection under the laws.)
Abigail Moncrieff is the co-director of Cleveland State University's Center for Health Law and Policy and says, "The problem with gender-affirming care is that it's never been challenged before."
"The question of, 'Do parents have a right to provide their children with gender-affirming care?' is a new question," she says.
Plaintiffs, including trans kids and their parents, claim the laws violate parents' due process right to direct their children's care. They also argue the laws illegally discriminate against trans kids.
Almost all the lawsuits are still in the early stages, with judges mainly deciding whether to block the bans while the cases play out in courtrooms.
But, so far, the rulings can be separated into two camps.
Camp 1
The first camp, including rulings from several district courts, says parents probably do have a right to get their kids gender-affirming hormone therapy.
Moncrieff says these initial rulings argue: "The medical care that's at issue is not unsafe or ineffective or quack medicine. Therefore, a statute interfering with a parents' right to make that choice on behalf of their child is unconstitutional."
Miles Joyner, a Kentucky social worker and trans man, says he's glad district court judges are taking a close look at the actual evidence on gender-affirming care.
"Because the truth is, all of the nationally recognized organizations, like the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association ... agree that gender-affirming care is both medically necessary as well as ethical," he says.
While the judges in Camp One contend that gender-affirming care bans appear unconstitutional, Moncrieff says Camp Two argues the bans likely do not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.
Camp 2
That camp only has one member so far: The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Earlier this month, the 6th Circuit let Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming medical treatments temporarily take effect. That prompted a district court judge to reinstate similar restrictions in Kentucky.
Here's how Moncrieff describes a main theme of that ruling: "Courts should be extremely hesitant to create new constitutional rights that block the states from experimenting with legislative approaches." In other words, the appeals court warns against judges hamstringing legislatures.
The 6th Circuit also argues the bans likely do not illegally discriminate against trans children.
Several district court rulings say the opposite, finding such laws probably do run afoul of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause.
The U.S. Supreme Court's interpretation of that clause has been changing, including in its recent ruling against colleges' affirmative action admissions policies, Moncrieff says. That evolving precedent could affect how courts rule on gender-affirming care cases.
A path to the U.S. Supreme Court
Over time, Moncrieff says she thinks other courts will join the 6th Circuit in Camp Two and there's a good chance you'll see a circuit split, where appeals courts reach different conclusions about the laws' constitutionality.
That's one reason why she thinks the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on this issue eventually.
"I'm honestly not sure whether they'll jump in quickly or whether they'll wait for a little while to let the question percolate," she says.
But kids' health care is on the line, says Bobbie Glass, a Kentucky educator and trans woman.
Her home state's Republican-run legislature prohibited gender-affirming hormone therapy for minors in March. Contentious debates led up to that decision.
At one meeting, Republican state Rep. Jennifer Decker defended the government's intervention.
"I have great compassion for the children, parents and their families who are in this situation. However, ultimately, it is our obligation to protect children from irreparable harm," she said. "The state has a compelling interest in that proposition."
Months later, legal arguments about what qualifies as irreparable harm and compelling interests, in this context, are playing out in courtrooms.
"And now we have a predominantly conservative Supreme Court," Glass tells NPR. "And their judgment is going to be really tested in all of this."
She says it's a relief to see district court judges criticize what many experts say are states' baseless medical arguments for prohibiting care for trans kids.
"Maybe there is some hope that there's some sanity. Because what you have is flawed theology, toxic religion, running rampant over the Constitution," Glass says.
But the legal system is changing, Moncrieff says, so it isn't obvious how the courts might rule.
"The Constitution is resting on shifting sands and it's a little unclear how it's going to settle."
In the meantime, that uncertainty weighs on many transgender kids and their families.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – In states across the country this year, Republicans have talked a lot about restricting drag performances in front of children.
But that talk, and even their efforts, haven't amounted to much.
Bills restricting drag have failed to pass, passed as watered-down laws, have been vetoed or, in the case of three states that did manage to pass meaningful restrictions, laws have been temporarily halted by federal judges.
Friday, in fact, a judge temporarily blocked drag restrictions in the last remaining state with enforceable restrictions – Montana – just days before the start of Pride festivities.
A few states' lawmakers are still in session, though, so more efforts could be afoot.
In Arkansas, where Republican state Sen. Gary Stubblefield championed and sponsored a bill earlier this year, he said drag shows harm kids and "take away their innocence."
"I can't think of any redeeming quality, anything good that can come from taking children and putting them in front of a bunch of grown men that are dressed like women," Stubblefield said back in January as he introduced his bill on the floor of the Arkansas Senate.
'Prurient interest' and the First Amendment
Stubblefield's bill contained key language that showed up in a lot of states' attempted drag restrictions – an appeal to the "prurient interest." (Texas, Tennessee, Montana, Arizona, South Dakota, for example.)
"That word – prurient interest – means excessive interest in sexual matters," Stubblefield explained to lawmakers in committee.
"Most drag shows do not appeal to the prurient interest," says JT Morris, an attorney for the free-speech group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
"Even if they did, saying something appeals to the 'prurient interest' under the First Amendment is not enough to regulate it," he says, noting that this kind of language makes it harder for a bill to hold up to basic legal scrutiny.
"You can't pass a state law based on disagreement with somebody's viewpoint. It's a textbook First Amendment violation."
And that disagreement has been palpable across the country. In Arkansas, Stubblefield's bill was met with large public backlash from those who say drag is about showmanship, not sex.
"I do drag as an art form," says Jeremy Stuthard, an Arkansas drag performer.
"I take a decent-looking guy and turn him into a statue-esk Barbie doll, and have a great time and put smiles on people's faces and that's all I really try to do."
Stuthard says most of the children he meets at drag brunches and story hours aren't there to indulge a 'prurient interest', but to have fun listening to a story read by a costumed actor.
Drag restrictions put on hold and watered down
In Tennessee, the day before that state's drag restrictions were due to go into effect, a Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge temporarily struck down the law due to its constitutional vagueness.
In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas Parker wrote, "Whether some of us may like it or not," the U.S. Supreme Court has interpreted the First Amendment "as protecting speech that is indecent but not obscene."
A similar law in Florida has been temporarily blocked. For a while, that left Montana as the only state in the country with an enforceable drag law, until the courts temporarily blocked that one, too.
In Arkansas, Sen. Stubblefield's drag ban bill was amended until it hardly resembled a drag ban. The final version of the law, which passed by large margins, now regulates stripping, not drag shows.
"[The]Amended House Bill is the only way to really protect minors. For another reason, it's the only draft that will stand up in court," Stubblefield said of the amendment, which he didn't write but ultimately agreed to.
"None of us like to pass a bill that's going to get struck down by a judge and not help any children at all."

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) – An abandoned parking deck in downtown Richmond might not stand for much longer after plans for a new mixed-use apartment building to take its place were approved.
Chelsea Savage has lived next door to the parking deck, located on the corner of East Franklin Street and North 6th Street, for five years and says shortly after moving in, she and her neighbors noticed it was falling apart – literally.
“We had a very, very long time of bricks falling off and there was no one paying attention to it whatsoever,” said Savage. “It’s just very much unsafe and has been a blight for five years.”
Savage told 8News she and other tenants would voluntarily pick the bricks up off the street, worried about safety for pedestrians and drivers. The city eventually put up fencing, which blocks access to the crumbling parking deck
“Look up at the walls of the building and you can see portions of bricks that are just ready to fall, and whether they would stay in that fence or not, it’s always a gamble,” said Savage.
In late May, the city approved a development plan for a 181-unit mixed-use apartment complex, with a 10,000 square foot commercial space. The concept also features several rooftop amenities for residents, such as a terrace, gym, and cocktail bar. Virginia Atlantic Development, LLC is the would-be developer of the project.
The full approved plan can be seen below:
The Richmond Department of Planning and Development Review told 8News the existing parking structure is unsafe and must be demolished before new construction can take place on the site.
Savage says she is excited for the new development and has waited to hear the good news for a long time.
“I think all the tenants are very excited that, number one, the safety hazard will be taken down. And number two, that we’ll have again, some more breath of life downtown here,” said Savage.
A construction start date has not yet been announced. | https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/richmond/hazardous-downtown-richmond-parking-deck-to-be-replaced-by-new-apartment-building/ | 2023-07-29T19:02:27 | 1 | https://www.wric.com/news/local-news/richmond/hazardous-downtown-richmond-parking-deck-to-be-replaced-by-new-apartment-building/ |
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The cosmos is offering up a double feature in August: a pair of supermoons culminating in a rare blue moon.
Catch the first show Tuesday evening as the full moon rises in the southeast, appearing slightly brighter and bigger than normal. That’s because it will be closer than usual, just 222,159 miles away, thus the supermoon label.
The moon will be even closer the night of Aug. 30 — a scant 222,043 miles distant. Because it’s the second full moon in the same month, it will be what’s called a blue moon.
“Warm summer nights are the ideal time to watch the full moon rise in the eastern sky within minutes of sunset. And it happens twice in August,” said retired NASA astrophysicist Fred Espenak, dubbed Mr. Eclipse for his eclipse-chasing expertise.
The last time two full supermoons graced the sky in the same month was in 2018. It won’t happen again until 2037, according to Italian astronomer Gianluca Masi, founder of the Virtual Telescope Project.
Masi will provide a live webcast of Tuesday evening’s supermoon, as it rises over the Coliseum in Rome.
“My plans are to capture the beauty of this ... hopefully bringing the emotion of the show to our viewers,” Masi said in an email.
“The supermoon offers us a great opportunity to look up and discover the sky,” he added.
This year’s first supermoon was in July. The fourth and last will be in September. The two in August will be closer than either of those.
Provided clear skies, binoculars or backyard telescopes can enhance the experience, Espenak said, revealing such features as lunar maria — the dark plains formed by ancient volcanic lava flows — and rays emanating from lunar craters.
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the August full moon is traditionally known as the sturgeon moon. That’s because of the abundance of that fish in the Great Lakes in August, hundreds of years ago. | https://www.capitalgazette.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-august-supermoons-20230729-u3ly2kgmljb6hcuj6f5s6klppq-story.html | 2023-07-29T19:02:27 | 1 | https://www.capitalgazette.com/news/nation-world/ct-aud-nw-august-supermoons-20230729-u3ly2kgmljb6hcuj6f5s6klppq-story.html |
WASHINGTON — It’s a stunning new allegation in an already serious case: Former President Donald Trump sought to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation into his handling of classified documents.
The latest criminal charges unsealed Thursday deepen Trump’s legal jeopardy, alleging a more central role for the former president than previously known in a cover-up that prosecutors say was meant to prevent them from recovering top-secret documents he took with him after he left the White House. Coming as Trump braces for possible additional indictments related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, the new allegations strengthen special counsel Jack Smith’s already powerful case against Trump while undercutting potential defenses floated by the former president, experts say.
“Before these new charges, you could maybe try some sort of defense that ‘this was all a mistake, it was my staff’ or confusion about what documents he actually had,” said former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, a George Washington University law professor.
“But especially now, when you’re trying to destroy video footage,” he added, “that’s kind of the final nail in the coffin. I don’t see much in the way of a defense, not a real defense. All he can do is claim he’s being persecuted and hope for a holdout juror or something.”
Trump resorted to that familiar playbook on Friday, writing in a post on his Truth Social platform that “this is textbook Third World intimidation by rabid, lawless prosecutors.” He insisted during an interview with radio host John Fredericks that he did nothing wrong and accused prosecutors of trying to intimidate his staff into making up lies about him.
Later Friday, Trump posted on Truth Social that Mar-a-Lago security tapes were voluntarily handed over to prosecutors. Trump said he was told they were not “deleted in any way, shape or form.”
The new Florida charges came as a surprise given that Trump and his legal team have been focused on the prospect of an additional indictment in Washington — possibly within days — related to his efforts to cling to power after he lost to President Joe Biden. Trump received a letter this month informing him that he’s a target in that probe, and his lawyers met Thursday with special counsel Jack Smith’s office.
Hours after that meeting, Smith revealed the new classified documents case charges on top of a 38-count indictment issued last month against Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. The updated indictment includes a detailed chronology of phone conversations and other interactions between Trump, Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, in the days after the Justice Department last June drafted a subpoena for security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago.
Video from the home would ultimately become vital to the government’s case because, prosecutors said, it shows Nauta moving boxes in and out of a storage room — an act alleged to have been done at Trump’s direction and in an effort to hide records not only only from investigators but Trump’s own lawyers.
The day after a draft subpoena was sent to the Trump Organization, the indictment says, Trump called De Oliveira and spoke with him for about 24 minutes. Though the details of that conversation are not included in the indictment, De Oliveira is described by prosecutors as asking a Mar-a-Lago information technology staffer several days later how long the server retained footage for and is quoted as telling the employee that “the boss” wanted it deleted.
Lawyers for Nauta, who has pleaded not guilty, and De Oliveira declined to comment on the allegations. De Oliveira is expected to make his first court appearance in Miami on Monday.
To the extent that evidence of Trump’s involvement in trying to delete video is circumstantial rather than direct, it might present a challenge for prosecutors, said David Aaron, a former Justice Department national security prosecutor who has worked on cases involving the mishandling of classified documents.
But if they can tie the effort to Trump, he added, “it’s devastating in its own right, because it doesn’t matter at that point what he thought he had the right to do, or whatever other defense he’s going to have about the classified documents. That’s in and of itself very bad.”
It could also help prosecutors establish that Trump knew what he was doing was wrong because “you only delete video of what you’ve done if you think it’s going to get you in trouble,” Aaron said. And Trump’s own accusations against others, like his claims against Hillary Clinton, his opponent in the 2016 presidential race, could boomerang against him.
Trump has claimed that Clinton deleted emails from her private server for the purpose of obstructing a criminal investigation into her own handling of classified information — something the FBI and Justice Department never alleged — but now stands himself accused of scheming to delete evidence he feared would be incriminating.
Daily Top Stories
“He has specifically criticized other public figures for deleting data when he says they thought they were going to be in trouble,” Aaron said. “So if you needed to prove his consciousness of guilt, it’s not just an obvious thing that you would ask the jury to rely on common sense for — he’s actually made statements about what it means when someone does this.”
Trump and Nauta are set for trial next May, though it’s not clear if that date will hold.
Smith’s team also added a new count of willful retention of national defense information related to a classified document about a Pentagon plan of attack on a foreign country prosecutors say Trump showed off during a July 2021 meeting at his Bedminster, New Jersey resort.
That charge comes after Trump repeatedly claimed he didn’t have any secret documents when he spoke, only magazine and newspaper clippings, even though an audio recording captured him saying “this is secret information.” The document was returned to the government in January 2022, months before the subpoena for classified records.
It’s not clear why prosecutors moved now to indict another one of Trump’s underlings, though bringing charges against De Oliveira that could carry significant prison time adds serious pressure on him, potentially increasing the odds that he could decide to cut a plea deal and cooperate.
“But, you know, Trump seems to inspire a lot of loyalty, at least in some people,” Eliason said. “Maybe they are holding out for the idea that he is reelected and he can pardon them.”

PALOS PARK — Palos Park Police Officer Ryan Franczak was tubing down the Salt River in Arizona while on a family vacation earlier this month when he rescued an older gentleman from drowning.
"It didn't phase me that much," Franczak, 31, said. "It almost felt natural."
Franczak said he and his wife went tubing July 8 with four family members, tying their tubes together. They started floating about 8:30 a.m., but he said the water depth and current changed rapidly.
About three hours into the trip, Franczak said there the current really picked up at a bend in the river. That's when someone shouted, he said.
"I heard someone say 'he's gone,' and I dive straight into the water. I didn't even take a breath before jumping in," Franczak said.
Franczak said he felt around, keeping his eyes closed so he wouldn't lose his contacts, and felt the man's leg. Franczak said he was able to get ahold of his torso and bring him to the surface.
One of Franczak's family members jumped in to help him, he said. They were able to bring the man, who was in his 60s or 70s, to shore and sat with him for about 30 minutes as he caught his breath to ensure he was doing well.
"We were able to tell he was OK," Franczak said.
The man's family contacted Palos Park Police Chief Joe Miller to let him know about Franczak's rescue.
"Officer Ryan Franczak's heroic actions truly represent the mission and values of the Palos Park Police Department and the mantra shared among all police officers that we are never truly off duty," Palos Park police Commissioner Dan Polk said in a statement.
Palos Park Mayor Nicole Milovich-Walters said it was an honor to recognize police officers.
"They work for us every single day to protect our citizens in this community, and to see the outstanding work that each and every one of them do, even off duty, required we all pause to say thank you," Milovich-Walters said.

June 29, 1936 - July 15, 2023
DENVER, Colorado — Marcia Lois Proctor (Volk), 87, gained her wings and made her journey to heaven on Saturday, July 15, 2023, after battling Alzheimers and Parkinsons.
Marcia was born in Bloomington, IL, on June 29, 1936, and was the only child of Eldon and Lois Volk (Curry). Marcia grew up in Bloomington, IL, and graduated from University High School, Normal, IL, in 1954. She attended Depauw University in Greencastle, IN, and graduated with a degree in Liberal arts in 1957. Marcia then went onto the Mayo Clinic Physical Therapy school in Rochester Minnesota graduating in 1959. Marcia met her lifelong best friend at the Mayo Clinic, Martha Ann Timm, and the two of them moved to Colorado together to live and pursue their careers and enjoy skiing, hiking, and all the splendor Colorado offered.
Marcia pursued and successfully had an over 30 year career as a Physical Therapist at St. Lukes/Presbyterian hospital in Denver.
Marcia was married to Leonard Proctor (deceased in 2017) from 1967-1994. Marcia is survived by her daughters: Tami (Glenn) of Centennial, CO, and their children: Hayli (Cody), and Jayden; and Sheila Proctor-Long (Gary) of Everett, WA, and their children: Sydney (Clay) and Brady; and one great-granddaughter, Wren.
Marcia was known as "Grammy" and she was the foundation of our family. She was the best mom and Grammy anyone could ask for. She always made time for her kids and grandkids and we will forever carry her unconditional love for us in our hearts.
Growing up in Bloomington, IL, and the daughter of two high school teachers, Marcia spent her summers traveling all over the United States. Many summers were spent in Estes Park, CO, and in Rocky Mountain National Park where she and her dad would hike to Longs Peak. This is where Marcia has chosen to be her final resting place.
After retirement, Marcia traveled the world. Many of those trips were with her dear friend Barb. Marcia traveled to Alaska, Russia, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and many more. If she could have, Marcia would have traveled even more. Marcia had many friends that were near and dear to her heart - she would host potlucks and cookie exchanges with her friends and get together for lunch with her Cob (crazy old broad) group as well. So many loved her and her sweet and loving soul.
During the past few years, Marcia was surrounded by her loving caregivers who helped her live her days to her fullest. Dora, Ciria, Jaide, Ivan, Esperanza, Lynn - you were her angels sent from heaven and have become part of our family. Her final home was at Highline Place where we are thankful to those who embraced Marcia in the three short months she was there.
Marcia's love of margaritas and Mexican food will be shared at her celebration of life. A meal to share stories and a margarita, toast or many, will take place to celebrate and honor Marcia at the Blue Bonnet restaurant (457 South Broadway, Denver, CO) on Sunday, August 13, 2023, from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Marcia's memory to the Alzheimers Association- 225 N. Mighigan Ave, Fl. 17, Chicago, IL, 60601. | https://pantagraph.com/obituaries/marcia-lois-proctor/article_d785f2f0-8259-5921-9137-d471f3e6e435.html | 2023-07-29T19:03:12 | 1 | https://pantagraph.com/obituaries/marcia-lois-proctor/article_d785f2f0-8259-5921-9137-d471f3e6e435.html |

FUKUOKA, Japan — Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time — 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum — wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
"I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I've already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight," she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
"I'm pretty tough on myself," she said. "But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace."
The 800 was Ledecky's second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
"It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women's 200 backstroke. McKeown's victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
"You can't change the rules," she said. "I got ruled out. It's just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn't do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive."
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjöström of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjöström's individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps' mark.
Sjöström also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
"There are not too many secrets," Sjöström said about her longevity. "Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble."
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year's world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo — 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event.

‘Sounded like an explosion’: Tesla crashes through wall, lands in backyard pool
PHOENIX (KPHO/Gray News) - Police in Arizona are investigating after a Tesla crashed into a pool in the Phoenix area on Friday.
KPHO reports that the crash happened around 8:45 a.m. at a home about 25 minutes away from downtown Phoenix.
Video from the scene showed the blue sedan appearing to have gone through a brick wall before landing fully submerged in a backyard pool.
A car seat was pulled from the pool, but officers said the driver was alone at the time of the crash.
The homeowner said he was getting ready for the day when he heard a loud noise from his backyard.
“I heard a sound that sounded like an explosion,” the homeowner said. “It sounded like a bomb went off.”
Authorities didn’t report any injuries in the incident. It’s not yet known what led up to the crash.

WASHINGTON, July 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid a coordinated effort to undermine No Labels' work to secure ballot access in states nationwide, we have named Jay Nixon – a lifelong Democrat who spent 30 years serving Missouri as a governor, attorney general and state senator – as director of our new Ballot Integrity Project.
Since early last year, No Labels has gathered over 700,000 signatures and qualified for the ballot in five states. We have a strategy to get on the ballot in all 50 states, plus Washington, D.C., with the aim of potentially offering our line to an independent Unity presidential ticket in 2024. No Labels is responding to the overwhelming desire of Americans for more choices and voices in our politics – with two-thirds of voters saying they don't want a rematch of the 2020 election – but we now face organized opposition from a group of political operatives and former elected officials intent on keeping us off the ballot.
"At a moment when so many Americans' are losing trust in our democracy, we need to hold even tighter to the pillars that have held our democracy up for almost 250 years. In our country, you win by persuading more people and getting more votes, not by limiting voters' choices and denying competitors a place on the ballot," said Nixon. "Americans have the constitutional right to put any person or party on the ballot and to vote for whomever they want. Anyone who is against that isn't standing up for democracy. They are standing in the way."
Former Gov. Larry Hogan will welcome Nixon to the No Labels community in his first scheduled public appearance at a town hall on Tuesday, August 1, at 5 p.m. ET. Register here to join the town hall.
In Nixon's decorated public service career, he established a stellar record as a champion for the civil and voting rights of Americans. In his new role with No Labels, Nixon will work closely with No Labels national co-chair and civil rights icon, Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr., to monitor legal developments, provide strategic counsel and serve as a public advocate for No Labels' ballot access efforts.
Since the start of its ballot access effort, No Labels has rigorously followed the letter and spirit of all applicable election laws. In recent months, however, it has become the target of an undemocratic campaign by organized and powerful partisan interests determined to keep No Labels off the ballot.
Local parties and partisan election officials have filed baseless lawsuits, invented spurious charges and delayed certification without justification in Arizona, Maine and North Carolina. Now, a new well-resourced group, organized under the name "Citizens to Save our Republic," has embarked on an effort to pressure No Labels and its members to abandon our ballot access effort.
"No Labels is a movement dedicated to democracy, and democracy can't stop because the powers that be think it's 'dangerous' to have competition," said Chavis. "The way to unite this country and to restore Americans faith in our future is to have more democracy, not less. I'm eager to begin working side by side with former Gov. Nixon to protect Americans' most fundamental constitutional rights."
On July 18, No Labels launched its Common Sense policy booklet at an overflow town hall event at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, N.H., featuring Dr. Chavis, his fellow No Labels co-chairs former Gov. Pat McCrory and Sen. Joe Lieberman and special guests Sen. Joe Manchin and Gov. Jon Huntsman. It was the first of many town halls No Labels will host in the months ahead – with different leaders in different states – to spur a long overdue discussion about where America needs to go in 2024 and beyond.
By early 2024, No Labels will gauge the mood of the American public and their openness to an independent Unity ticket and will offer our ballot line to a ticket if and only if, such a ticket has a viable path to victory in the 2024 presidential election.
Since its founding in 2009, No Labels has spent 13 years working to give voice to America's commonsense majority. We are now getting ballot access in states across the country to ensure Americans have the choice to vote for a 2024 presidential ticket that features strong, effective, and honest leaders who will commit to working closely with both parties to find commonsense solutions to America's biggest problems. www.nolabels.org.

A judge in Georgia has now set a hearing date for a motion by former President Donald Trump's lawyers to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the potential case over criminal interference in the 2020 election.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Senior Superior Court Judge Stephen Schuster will hear the motion on August 10. He also directed both sides to submit their legal briefs by no later than August 8.
This comes as a possible indictment from the grand jury that could be handed down any day. Earlier this year, Willis said there would likely be a decision on an indictment in August.

10 people died at the Astroworld music festival two years ago. What happens now?
Nearly two years after 10 people were crushed to death during the deadly 2021 Astroworld festival, no charges have been filed — even though some people, including event workers, expressed safety concerns.
Pinpointing “who exactly caused those deaths is not an easy question to answer,” said Sandra Guerra Thompson, a criminal law professor at the University of Houston Law Center.
“It’s a very difficult thing to say, unless you have some kind of clear evidence that somebody in charge, whose job it was to ensure safety and who should have known better, failed to take action,” she said.
A nearly 1,300-page report on the investigation into the tragedy released by Houston police Friday said contract worker Reece Wheeler told authorities that he saw a crush of people and warned an event organizer that people could die, shortly before rapper Travis Scott went onstage.
In the report, investigators wrote that Scott said he did see one person near the stage getting medical attention, but said that overall, the crowd seemed to enjoy the show. He said he did not see any signs of serious problems, nor did he hear anyone tell him to stop the show.
Hip-hop artist Drake, who also performed, told police it was difficult to see from the stage what was going on in the crowd and that he didn’t hear anyone call for the show to stop.
Despite no charges being filed, more than 500 lawsuits have been filed over the deaths and injuries at the concert, including many against concert promoter Live Nation and Scott. Some of those suits have since been settled.
Those who were killed ranged in age from 9 to 27, and all 10 people died due to compression asphyxia, according to medical examiners.
NO CHARGES BROUGHT
In June, a Texas grand jury declined to indict six people in the case, including Scott. Prosecutors said, then, that the circumstances of the deaths limited what charges they were able to present, eliminating potential counts such as murder, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Thompson said the sheer number of people involved in putting on the event, the large scale of it, and the high bar for proving criminal negligence or recklessness are challenges for prosecutors in cases like this.
“It goes back to, who knows what’s going on, is that being communicated?” she said. “Were they being told that people have died, and they still wanted the concert to go on? Or, were they being told that ‘Hey, some people are getting hurt, which might not be that unusual at an event like that?”
Assistant Harris County District Attorney Alycia Harvey said after the grand jury declined to issue indictments that prosecutors were left with only possible counts of endangering a child in connection with the deaths of the two youngest concertgoers, ages 9 and 14.
Scott’s lawyer, Kent Schaffer, has said that the performer was not responsible for the tragedy.
“He never encouraged people to do anything that resulted in other people being hurt,” Schaffer said.
TRAVIS SCOTT’S RESPONSE
Scott has previously said he was unaware of the deaths until after the show. He has since created what he called Project HEAL, a $5 million initiative that includes funding for an effort to address safety challenges for festivals and large-scale events.
The police report said Scott told investigators that around the time Drake came onstage he was told to end the show after the performance, but that no one told him of an emergency.
NEW SAFETY PRACTICES
Following the tragedy, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott formed a task force to study concert safety, and to recommend crowd control and security measures during mass gathering.
The task force in April 2022 reported that people without tickets entered the outdoor festival area hours before the performances began, overwhelming staff and leading to a variety of injuries. It also concluded that the process for issuing permits for mass gatherings is inconsistent statewide.
The task force recommended creating a command center that is authorized to pause or cancel a show in response to safety concerns.
“Sometimes, sadly, industries learn safety practices following disasters,” said Thompson, the law professor. “The standards for live concerts like this, I would imagine, are going to change.”

5 injured in shooting at Seattle parking lot; police say no immediate arrests
SEATTLE (AP) — Five people were wounded in a shooting at a Seattle parking lot during which the police chief said “dozens and dozens of rounds” were fired. There were no immediate arrests, and a police investigation was ongoing.
Three people — all in their 20s — remained hospitalized Saturday, though one of them was expected to be discharged later in the day, according to Harborview Medical Center spokesperson Susan Gregg. A fourth person was treated and released.
A fifth person was treated at the scene, Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said.
The Seattle Police Department responded to reports of a shooting around 9 p.m. Friday. It took place in an area where police said a community outreach event was being held.
“We know that there’s dozens and dozens of rounds that were fired,” said Diaz, who noted police were not sure of a possible motive.
“Right now, we’ve really got to get guns off the streets,” Diaz said, adding that the number of shootings in the city has fluctuated but remains an issue.
Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell thanked community members and police at the scene for working together to protect residents.
“These community leaders are putting literally their lives on the line to protect their own community,” Harrell said. “But you see what we’re trying to build here in Seattle with these fine officers working with these fine community leaders, trying to protect their babies here, trying to protect our youth.”

FUKUOKA, Japan — Here's why Katie Ledecky is one of the greatest freestyle swimmers in the history of the sport: She is never quite satisfied.
The 26-year-old American won the 800-meter freestyle on Saturday at the world championships to become the first swimmer to win six golds in the same event at worlds. It was also her 16th individual world title, breaking a tie with Michael Phelps for the most golds at worlds.
She also is a seven-time Olympic gold medalist and the world record holder in both the 800 and 1,500.
But that winning time — 8 minutes, 8.87 seconds, which is the seventh-quickest she'd ever swum — wasn't quite good enough in her favorite event.
"I'm just always trying to think of new ways to improve. I mean I've already got everything turning in my head right now. I kind of wanted to be better than I was tonight," she said, twirling her right hand beside her right ear, trying to stir up ideas.
"I'm pretty tough on myself," she said. "But I think I have found the balance of being tough on myself but also having that grace."
The 800 was Ledecky's second individual gold following her win in the 1,500 free on Tuesday. She also took silver in the 400 free. Li Bingjie of China took silver in 8:13.31, and Ariarne Titmus of Australia got the bronze in 8:13.59.
"It's fun to leave a meet with your favorite event, and I just wanted to leave it all in the pool," Ledecky said.
It was only the fourth gold for the United States in the seventh of eight days in the pool. Meanwhile, Australia has been piling it on with 13 golds, matching its best at the worlds. Australia won three more golds on Saturday.
The Americans lead the overall table with 31 medals (16 silver), Australia has 20 and China 13.
Kaylee McKeown of Australia made history of her own with gold in the women's 200 backstroke. McKeown's victory gave her a sweep of all three backstroke events after earlier wins in the 50 and 100. She became the first swimmer to sweep all three backstrokes at the worlds.
It all made up for her disqualification earlier in the 200 IM.
"You can't change the rules," she said. "I got ruled out. It's just the cards I was dealt with and I couldn't do much more than that. So I just had to carry myself the best I could and channel all my anger and turn a huge negative into a positive."
Regan Smith of the United States picked up the silver in 2:04.94, while Peng Xuwei of China got the bronze in 2:06.74.
Sarah Sjöström of Sweden continued her dominance with gold in the 50 butterfly. The 29-year-old won in 24.77 seconds and has now won the event five consecutive times at the worlds. The win brought Sjöström's individual medals at the worlds to 20, equaling Phelps' mark.
Sjöström also broke her own record in the 50 free, going 23.61 in a semifinal heat. Her old mark was 23.67 set in 2017.
"There are not too many secrets," Sjöström said about her longevity. "Just do the work every day, go to practice, and stay humble."
Zhang Yufei of China, who took gold in the 100 fly, claimed the silver in 25.05, while American Gretchen Walsh got the bronze in 25.46.
Japanese fan favorite Rikako Ikee finished seventh (25.78) in the 50 fly but was greeted warmly by the home crowd.
The 23-year-old Ikee won six gold medals at the 2018 Asian Games and was expected to be a favorite in the Tokyo Olympics. But she was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2019. Her comeback continues to resonate with both the Japanese public and her fellow competitors.
Cameron McEvoy of Australia led all the way to capture the gold in the 50 free in 21.06. It was his first individual gold in the worlds or Olympics.
American Jack Alexy collected his second silver of the worlds in 21.57 to go with his silver in the 100 free. Benjamin Proud of Britian, last year's world champion, took the bronze in 21.58.
Caeleb Dressel won the event at the Olympics but did not qualify for the U.S. team. McEvoy's time was quicker than Dressel's winning time in Tokyo — 21.07.
Maxime Grousset of France won gold in the 100 fly in 50.14. The 24-year-old took the early lead and held on. Josh Liendo of Canada earned the silver in 50.34, while American Dare Rose made the podium with the bronze (50.46).
Ruta Meilutyte of Lithuania equaled the world record of 29.30 in her semifinal in the 50 breaststroke.
Australia won the 4x100 mixed freestyle relay in a world record of 3:18.83. The Americans took silver in 3:20.82, with Britain getting the bronze in 3:21.68. The relay is not an Olympic event.

A small plane towing a banner lands in the ocean off a crowded New Hampshire beach; pilot unhurt
HAMPTON BEACH, N.H. (AP) — A small plane towing a banner landed in the ocean off a crowded New Hampshire beach on Saturday, and lifeguards rescued the pilot, who was unhurt, authorities said.
The single-engine Piper PA-18 plane landed about noon off Hampton Beach, witnesses said. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the pilot was the only person on board.
Hampton Police Chief Alex Reno told WMUR-TV that the pilot was rescued by lifeguards, and wasn’t hurt.
The plane has since been pulled to shore and was sitting on the beach.
The FAA said it would investigate the cause of the incident, along with the National Transportation Safety Board.
The Hampton Police Department and the New Hampshire Beach Patrol did not immediately respond to messages for comment.

Flor Marte knows someone will die. She knows when and how, because it came to her in a dream. That's her gift – all the women in the Marte family have one.
But Flor refuses to share who the dream is about. Instead, she insists on throwing herself a living wake, a reason for the entire family to come together and celebrate their lives. That's the starting point for Elizabeth Acevedo's debut novel for adults, Family Lore.
Acevedo grew up in Harlem, with summer visits to the Dominican Republic, and aspirations of becoming a rapper – until a literature teacher invited her to join an after-school poetry club.
She attended reluctantly; but what she found in spoken word performance broke her world and the possibilities of language wide open.
"I think for folks who maybe have felt it difficult to occupy their bodies and take up space and demand attention, to have three minutes where that is the requirement is really powerful," she says.
Acevedo went on to become a National Poetry Slam champion and earn degrees in performing arts and creative writing. After college, she taught language arts in Prince George's County, Maryland. Teaching, she says, is its own kind of performance – one where the audience doesn't always want to be there. But her students were struggling in other ways.
"So many of my young people weren't at grade level, but they'd also not encountered literature that they felt reflected them," she says. "Trying to meet some of those students where they were was really a kickoff for my writing."
So Acevedo began writing young adult books. The Poet X, her first novel about a Dominican-American teen finding her voice through poetry, won a National Book Award in 2018.
Pivoting to a new audience
Now, with Family Lore, Acevedo turns her attention to adult readers.
"I think the way this pushes forward her work and the growing body of Dominican-American literature is how deeply she writes into the interiors of her women characters," says author Naima Coster, who read an early draft of the novel.
The story is told through memories, out of order, sometimes a memory within a different memory. Acevedo jumps from the Dominican countryside to Santo Domingo to New York, as sisters Matilde, Flor, Pastora and Camila – along with younger generation Ona and Yadi – reflect on their childhoods and teenage romances and the secrets that bind them all together. Though the Marte women grow older together, their relationships do not get easier.
"What does it mean if these women have really just had a different experience of their mother?" says Acevedo. "And how that different experience of their mother automatically will create a schism, because now it's like, 'You don't remember her the way I remember her, and because of that, I can't trust you."
There are infidelities, miscarriages, childhood love affairs and therapeutic dance classes. Acevedo explains that she needed to tell this story in a non-linear format, in the way memories surface and warp; the way family gossip is passed on from person to person, in a roundabout way.
Returning to the body
That format, she says, was more suited for adult readers; and writing for adults also allowed her to be candid about bodies: how they move, change, excite, disappoint.
"The generation I was raised by felt like their relationship to their body was very othered," Acevedo says. "When I speak to my cousins, when I think about myself, it's been a return to desire, a return to the gut, a return to health in a way that isn't necessarily about size but is about: who am I in this vessel and how do I love it?"
That tension is felt especially by the younger Marte women, whose supernatural gifts radiate from within. Ona has a self-described "alpha vagina," Yadi has a special taste for sour limes.
Naima Coster says it's easy to feel pressure to write about marginalized communities as clean-cut, exemplary characters. But Family Lore relishes in airing out the Marte family's dirty laundry– in showing Afro-Dominican women as full, complicated protagonists.
"It feels major, the way she writes about the ways that these women misunderstand each other, but still love each other," she says.
Acevedo says those themes – family, home, Blackness, power – will be in every book she writes, "because those are the questions that haunt me."
Family Lore reads like the feeling of getting older and no longer having moms and aunts lower their voices when you enter the room – like finally being privy to what makes a family flawed and perfect.

Medal of Honor recipient watches as warship bearing his name is christened in Maine
BATH, Maine (AP) — Marine 1st Lt. Harvey “Barney” Barnum jumped to the ground when he came under fire during an ambush in Vietnam that killed his radio operator and commander.
Collecting himself, Barnum realized he was now the highest-ranking officer of a rifle company he’d just joined. He called in artillery and, amid gunfire, dragged the commander to safety, where he died in Barnum’s arms. Then he proceeded to mount a counterattack, oversee evacuation of the wounded and lead the unit’s eventual break out to rejoin the battalion.
The Medal of Honor recipient, now 83, watched Saturday as his wife smashed a bottle of sparkling wine against the bow to christen the future U.S. Navy destroyer that’ll bear the name Harvey C. Barnum Jr.
He said he was speechless when he learned that a warship would bear his name. “As anybody that knows Barney Barnum knows, I’ve never been speechless,” he joked before the event.
The ceremony on Saturday at Navy shipbuilder Bath Iron Works was a tribute to the Vietnam War hero who during his first firefight was foisted into leadership of Marines who didn’t yet know his name because he’d just joined them a couple of days earlier.
Dignitaries included Maine’s governor and senators, as well as Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro, who praised Barnum’s humility and generosity, in addition to being a war hero who inspired fellow Marines.
Gen. Eric Smith, the acting Marine Corps commandant whose nomination to lead the Marine Corps is being blocked by a Republican senator, called Barnum “an icon, a legend, a Marine.”
In an interview, Barnum said the combat was harrowing on that day, Dec. 18, 1965, during Operation Harvest Moon. His unit was outnumbered, caught off guard and separated from the larger battalion outside the village of Ky Phu in Quang Tin Province.
The ship’s namesake said he was scared like everybody else but he tried not to show it. The other Marines were looking to him, an artillery spotter, after their commander died, he said.
To launch a counterattack, he brandished a .45-caliber handgun and told the others to follow him. They did.
“It’s a tough business. But when it gets tough, the tough get going and that’s what Marines do,” he said. “We came together as a team. And, you know, there’s no fury unleashed that’s greater than that of a bunch of Marines that know that their buddies have been shot.”
Barnum later became the first Medal of Honor recipient in the Vietnam conflict to return for another tour. He retired from the Marine Corps as a colonel after nearly three decades of service and served the secretary of defense as principal director of drug enforcement policy, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for reserve affairs, and acting assistant secretary of the Navy for manpower and reserve affairs.
Barnum, of Reston, Virginia, was born in Cheshire, Connecticut, and studied at Saint Anslem College, a Benedictine college in Goffstown, New Hampshire. The school’s abbot, Mark Cooper, delivered the invocation on Saturday.
The event was a family affair for Barnum, who now lives in Virginia.
His wife, Martha Hill, served as the ship’s sponsor. At the event Saturday, she was in a wheelchair; Barnum has been her care provider since she had a stroke more than five years ago. Her daughter; two granddaughters, one of whom sang “God Bless America;” and an 11-year-old great-granddaughter were also participants at the event Saturday. Other family and friends were present.
Displacing 9,500 tons, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is built to simultaneously wage war against submarines, aircraft and missiles, and other warships. The newest versions are being equipped for ballistic missile defense.
The 510-foot (155 meters) guided-missile destroyer was in dry dock for the ceremony as work continues to prepare the ship for delivery to the Navy.

Bear beats scorching California heat by taking dip in pool
Burbank police said they were called Friday afternoon after the bear was spotted in a hillside neighborhood before taking a dip in the water, soaking up the scenery along the way.
BURBANK, Calif. – It's tough dealing with the intense heat in California, but it's nice to hear that someone found a way to cool off.
Burbank police said they were called Friday afternoon after the bear was spotted in a hillside neighborhood before taking a dip in the water, soaking up the scenery along the way.
"This bear is beating the heat in Burbank," officers said on Twitter, along with a short clip of the furry intruder.
26 STATES STILL SIZZLE UNDER HEAT ALERTS BUT RELIEF NEAR FOR 150 MILLION
At the time, the temperature in Burbank reached a high of 92 degrees.
Relief from the scorching heat that many Americans have been enduring for the past several weeks is finally on the horizon. This should bring good news to anyone, including bears, who are exhausted from sweating through above-average temperatures.
If you come across a bear, follow these guidelines provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife: Do not run; instead, face the animal, make noise and try to appear as large as possible. It is crucial to take action and defend oneself in the event of an attack. If a bear attacks, it is imperative to immediately contact 911 for assistance. | https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/burbank-hollywood-bear-swim-water-heat | 2023-07-29T19:07:01 | 1 | https://www.foxweather.com/earth-space/burbank-hollywood-bear-swim-water-heat |

Search continues for missing after Indiana cabin swept away by floodwaters
Up to 5 inches of rain fell within 4 hours Thursday night at Wolf Creek, a likely reason for why the cabin collapsed into the creek.
BROOKVILLE, Ind. – Indiana officials are still searching for a missing person who was one of two people swept away by floodwaters this week.
State conservation officers and multiple other agencies continue their efforts Saturday following Thursday night’s thunderstorms in Brookville along Wolf Creek in Franklin County.
County first responders received a report Friday that two people staying in a cabin near the creek were missing, and the cabin had been washed away.
"Yesterday, a search was conducted in which they located one of the individuals. They were deceased," Indiana Conservation Officer Travis Stewart told FOX Weather on Saturday morning.
Search efforts continued for the other individual through the evening but were later suspended due to the dangerous heat and humidity.
The names of all involved are being withheld pending family notification, authorities said.
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT INCREASES FOR KANSAS CITY AS THUNDERSTORMS PUMMEL NEBRASKA, MISSOURI
Up to 5 inches of rain fell within a 4-hour period Thursday night at Wolf Creek, Franklin County Coroner Brian Baxter told FOX 19 WXIX in Cincinnati. According to him, that is likely the reason why the house collapsed into the creek.
"Unfortunately, in rural counties, they look so calm during the summertime," he told reporters. "Then, about once or twice a year in our county, we have tragedies due to rushing water and people not knowing that it is coming that quickly."
Another rescue operation for two stranded kayakers was conducted Friday on the Whitewater River close to New Trenton. The Indiana DNR also provided assistance in that case. | https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/brookville-indiana-wolf-creek-cabin-flood-rescue | 2023-07-29T19:07:07 | 0 | https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/brookville-indiana-wolf-creek-cabin-flood-rescue |

Weekend Weather Wows: Historic American heat wave by the numbers
For this week's edition, I will try to corral much of the heat weather records that have fallen since the start of the month to put this historic event into perspective.
PHOENIX – It's a good thing most historical weather observations are kept electronically these days because otherwise, the amount of ink that would be needed to rewrite all the record books this month could plunge the pen industry into a national supply crisis.
It's time for our weekly feature, "Weekend Weather Wows," where we go back and find the most exciting tidbits of weather you might have missed over the past week, so you'll be ready to impress at the water cooler (or virtual water cooler) come Monday.
For this week's edition, I will try to corral much of the heat wave weather records that have fallen since the start of the month to put this historic event into perspective. Each one is a "wow" unto itself, but in the aggregate, it goes into at least "holy cow," if not pushing more PG-13 exclamations.
The setup: The ridge that wouldn't budge
A massive heat dome became anchored in the Desert Southwest after nudging west from rewriting Texas' record books in June, but its influence spread across the entire southern tier of the U.S.
The pattern itself wouldn't be considered that unusual for summer for a brief period, but its length and intensity were far beyond average.
Over the entire nation, some 222 daily record high temperatures have been set across 76 major reporting stations, spreading from the Northwest down into the Desert Southwest and east across Texas and then into Florida.
On July 16, 19 major cities reached record highs, followed by 17 major city record highs on July 18 and again on July 21. Then, July 22 set records in 24 major cities.
Sunshine State becomes the Too-Much-Sunshine State
Starting our cross-country trek in the East, we find Floridians who have probably never welcomed such a soggy forecast as the one that's gracing their forecast this weekend, finally bringing some heat wave relief.
South Florida had heat alerts in effect for more than two weeks as highs climbed well into the 90s, with dew points reaching extreme levels – near 80 degrees – that even a humidity capital such as Florida has rarely experienced. Put that together, and much of central and south Florida had several days of "feels like" temperatures of 105-110 degrees. Miami had 16 days feeling like 105 or hotter.
Marathon, in the Florida Keys, is ready to run away to cooler locales (though it wasn't much cooler anywhere close by). The town reached 99 degrees twice this month – tying their all-time record high – and setting daily high-temperature records on 19 other days, reaching 97 and 98 several other times.
Key West, Miami, Vero Beach, Fort Myers, Sarasota and Tampa are all at their hottest month on record (of any month) through July 26.
Arizona: Dry heat or not, it's way too hot
The heat was no easier in the Southwest. Sure, the humidity was considerably lower, but they didn't need it to reach "feels-like" temperatures over 110 degrees because the actual temperature reached 110 or more on its own.
Phoenix set 11 daily high-temperature records this month, while Tucson has set 10.
Sun City's streak of 110-plus degree days is still active – Friday made 28 days. Three days so far have reached 119 degrees, and 13 total have reached at least 116 degrees (as Friday reached 116) – both annual records.
They experienced a stretch from July 9-26 of not dropping below 90 degrees. Their overnight low of 97 on July 19 was their warmest low on record.
Oh, and it hasn't rained in Phoenix since March 22 (at least at Sky Harbor Airport; the suburbs recently had some monsoon storm rain). For PHX, the 128 days without measurable rain through Friday is their fourth-longest dry streak on record.
Not to be outdone, Reno tied their all-time record high of 108, while Grand Junction, Colorado, tied their all-time high of 107. Kingman, Arizona, set a new record of 114 degrees on July 15.
NWS has been busy sounding like a broken record
Another way to get perspective on the heat is this map by Iowa State University's IEM, showing the rank of the number of Heat Advisories issued for each NWS office since 2005.
A rating of 19 means they've issued the most heat advisories in the June-July period since 2005, while 1 means it's the fewest amount (likely zero alerts). You can see how busy they've been in the South.
Cooler weather is in the offing next week. About 100 million will see above-average temperatures Monday and Tuesday versus 255 million earlier this week.

(CNN) — It was an explosive week for “Barbenheimer,” with the atomic bomb and the atomic blond working hand in plastic hand to deliver box office dynamite. In their first week in domestic theaters, “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” grossed more than $368 million combined.
Greta Gerwig’s dazzling doll surpassed a quarter of a billion dollars, with a stunning $258 million, according to Warner Bros., which produced the movie. (CNN and Warner Bros. are both owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.)
It stayed No. 1 throughout the week, nabbing an average of $24 million each day. On Friday, that number jumped to $29 million.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s existential biopic grossed some $128 million. It averaged $11 million per weekday, according to media analytics company Comscore, with $13.4 million on Friday.
“Movies tend to drop of significantly midweek once that opening weekend interest is satisfied. But this midweek for both movies played almost like a weekend,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore.
The numbers spell out continued interest in the films and solidify Barbenheimer’s status as a cultural sensation.
“The strongest measure of a film’s success is the second weekend,” said Dergarabedian.
Over this weekend, analysts project about $94 million for “Barbie” and $46 million for “Oppenheimer.”
“Even if that was the opening weekend, these would still be great numbers,” he added.
“Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” are generating record-breaking second weekend presales, according to The Boxoffice Company, which powers show times and ticketing for Google, TikTok, IMDb and Apple.
Barbenheimer is also going toe to toe with big superhero flicks, with some analysts saying this weekend is shaping up to be one of the best holdover weekends since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”
The company has more than 150 theater partners who also reported that this week was their best in domestic sales since “Spider-Man: No Way Home” debuted December 17-23, 2021.
With “Barbenheimer,” audience excitement for each film has propped up the other. Not only was it a great week for movie theaters, according to Dergarabedian, but this pop culture moment will be studied in film, business and marketing for years to come. | https://www.channel3000.com/news/money/barbenheimer-had-incredible-box-office-momentum-in-its-first-week/article_6a70fa1e-c51f-51a1-afdb-c435e478a059.html | 2023-07-29T19:08:23 | 0 | https://www.channel3000.com/news/money/barbenheimer-had-incredible-box-office-momentum-in-its-first-week/article_6a70fa1e-c51f-51a1-afdb-c435e478a059.html |
New Canaan, a wealthy town in Connecticut, is a town of lawns.
Lawns, green and rolling. Lawns, trim and bug-free, lined with sculpted shrubs. Lawns, like so many lawns across suburban America, sprayed with pesticides each spring, mowed each week of summer and raked free of leaves each fall.
But Bill and Mary-Ellen McDonald have taken a different approach. They have lived in their yellow house here for more than 50 years. Over time, they started letting wildflowers grow. Bunnies appeared. Birds came back. Soon, they realized they were creating a sanctuary.
A sanctuary, specifically, for fireflies.
“These fireflies are here, and really only here,” Bill McDonald, 75, said on a recent Friday evening, the sky fading to lilac. “This is an island in the sea of lawn chemicals.”

Over the past few decades, anecdotal reports suggest that firefly populations have been declining across the country. Although the data is sparse, experts say multiple species are at risk of extinction from threats such as habitat loss and light pollution, which interrupts their mating signals.
Suburban sprawl is destroying their habitat: The insects spend most of their lives in the soil, which is threatened by development. And pesticides are killing them off.
“Fireflies are like most other wildlife: They need things a little wild,” said Candace Fallon, a conservation biologist and one of the creators of the Firefly Atlas from the Xerces Society, an international invertebrate conservation group.
For ecologists, fireflies are good ambassadors for broader environmental causes such as the dark sky movement, a campaign to reduce light pollution, and “no-mow May,” an anti-lawn credo. The insects are enchanting, even nostalgic. They flash like morse code messages from childhood, the Tinkerbells of the longest days of summer.
“I think of them sort of as the gateway bug,” said Sara Lewis, a leading firefly expert at Tufts University. “They’re a way of getting people who may not otherwise be that interested.”

Some people have created public spaces for the insects, which Lewis said inspired “firefly tourism.” Parts of Asia have large firefly populations. Many fireflies also live in the Great Smoky Mountains, in Tennessee. The Pennsylvania Firefly Festival is another destination.
But few people have created firefly oases on their own properties. Fewer still open up their homes to host firefly viewing parties, as the McDonalds have done every summer for the past 30 years.
Dozens of people gather over several evenings during peak season — from June to mid-July. Mary-Ellen McDonald, 74, makes ice cream sundaes with homemade fudge sauce by the half-gallon. Her husband uncorks Champagne.
“Some people used to bring their children,” he said. “Now, they bring their grandchildren.”
They let the children catch fireflies, and even let them take their new friends home in jars for just one night. The next day, they return to release them, often with hand-drawn firefly drawings in tow.
Bill McDonald’s interest in fireflies started when he was young. In recent years, he helped create a public firefly sanctuary, which is part of the New Canaan Land Trust. (It has gotten so popular that it now requires nightly reservations during peak firefly season.)
But even as Bill McDonald, a retired investment banker, has invested time and significant financial resources in creating havens for the fireflies, few of his neighbors have done the same.

Yellow pesticide signs peek out of front lawns, warning dogs to keep off the grass. A buzz-cut of grass rolls to the property line, its edges razored by landscape crews. Floodlights abound.
“Some people are basically lawn people,” Bill McDonald said. “Do they care about the fireflies? The answer is ‘no.’ It’s just not on their radar. It’s just not part of the culture.”
That’s the point of the parties, which are a hyperlocal type of environmental activism. One night with the fireflies; maybe one lawn without chemicals.
Perhaps, people will even be encouraged to “rewild” their lawns altogether. The growing movement aims to restore damaged landscapes to a more natural state, often with native plants. That, in turn, could make for better firefly habitats.
The demonstration worked for Michele Murray Sloan, a real estate agent who has lived in New Canaan all her life. She said she first visited the McDonalds’ home a few years ago and noticed the difference.
“The house next door had a sign that said ‘pesticides.’ There were no fireflies,” she remembered. “We were like: ‘Whoa, it’s almost like there’s this invisible gate right there that the fireflies know not to go past.’”
Sloan stopped using pesticides after that.
“Every single year, it feels like we have more fireflies,” she said of her own home, adding, “It makes you aware that even just on your own property, not using pesticides makes a difference.”
As the sky slipped from lilac to indigo and the trees became blurs, Bill McDonald pointed out the different species. (He can tell them apart just by their light patterns, their flight paths.)

There goes a Comet. Oh, look, a Femme Fatale. (You can see her — there. She’s flying horizontally.) By the trees, those are Heebie Jeebies. That one’s a Big Dipper. See it? Right there. See the way it blinks?
Chris Schipper, chair of the New Canaan Conservation Commission and a former president of the land trust, was there that evening. He caught a firefly, cradling it gently.
Then, he opened his hands. It jackknifed its wings open and flew away.
“To see several thousand fireflies, lighting up the sky, right in your backyard?” he said. “I think it slows you down and makes you think: ‘Maybe a perfect lawn isn’t as magnificent as something like this.’”
As the humans on the porch drained their Champagne flutes, the unwitting insect activists bobbed in the air. They blinked — on-on-off; on-on-off-on-on-off — trying to find a mate before their own little lights sputtered out for good. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/nation/summer-spectacle-where-fireflies-are-guiding-light/ | 2023-07-29T19:08:23 | 1 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/29/nation/summer-spectacle-where-fireflies-are-guiding-light/ |
Black university lecturer refuses to subject daughter to ‘Barbie’ over ‘White is always right’ ideology
D. Watkins said movies and commercials in America act like White people have a 'monopoly' on beauty
A University of Baltimore lecturer said he refuses to take his young daughter to see the new "Barbie" movie because she "already receives enough unintentional whiteness."
On Thursday, Dwight Watkins, who also acts as Editor at Large for Salon.com, penned a commentary on the liberal news and opinion website explaining why he would not subject himself or his child to the new film starring Margot Robbie.
After his three-year-old gleefully expressed interest in seeing the movie, Watkins sat down with his computer to watch the "Barbie" official trailer. After clicking play, he recalled being "overwhelmed with whiteness."
"Barbie, which does have a few nonwhite cast members, including Issa Rae, America Ferrera, and Ncuti Gatwa, has one of the whitest trailers I ever saw in my life," he continued. "And no, I'm not that guy; I genuinely believe that artists and filmmakers can create whatever they want, but I must be cautious of what I expose my daughter to."
BARBIE'S DREAMHOUSE MUST BE 'REDESIGNED TO SURVIVE' CLIMATE CHANGE, CBS REPORTS
Concerned about his daughter's inability to comprehend the complexities of gender at such a young age, Watkins wondered how he could even begin to engage with her in a discussion about race and "how movies and commercials in America act like White people have a monopoly on beauty?"
"Google' attractive woman' and watch the page fill up with White faces," he added.
Anticipating the potential for a rebuttal to his train of thought, Watkins stressed that he is not teaching his daughter to engage with Black art exclusively. It's just that White is "always available" and "at the forefront of everything."
BARBIE BOMBSHELL: ORIGIN OF AMERICA’S FAVORITE DOLL DISPUTED BY MISSILE DEFENSE DESIGNER’S DAUGHTER
"I never heard a White person say, 'The representation was poor; I just don't see myself in the art,' yet Black people and people of color deal with this daily. America intentionally and unintentionally shoves whiteness down our throats every day, every minute, every second, and there's not much we can do about it, other than thoughtfully curating a child's experience," Watkins said.
Watkins concluded that while he can do everything to protect his daughter from the "White is always right" ideology, he still may not be able to keep her from "that way of thinking" because America, he claimed, is "so fixed on that message."
"…That doesn't exempt me from religiously teaching her that Black is beautiful, even though Hollywood is only willing to show it in small doses," he added. "Avoiding films like 'Barbie' is a part of that teaching."
‘BARBIE’ CONTROVERSY: MARGOT ROBBIE AND RYAN GOSLING FILM’S ROCKY ROAD TO THEATERS
Despite the author's serious quandaries with the new movie, many liberal Hollywood critics have praised "Barbie" for its diverse cast and strong feminist message.
"The Barbie movie finds all the fun in laughing at the men's rights movement," Polygon announced. "It's a takedown of toxic masculinity tied up with a pretty pink wrapper."
TheWrap also stated that the movie "delivers a fierce feminist statement dressed in pink," while The Globe and Mail declared the film "the most captivating and unwaveringly feminist summer blockbuster ever to exist."

The film has already grossed nearly $600 million worldwide and has earned over $287,402,000 in the United States alone.

(CNN) — The Uber test driver behind the wheel of one of the company’s self-driving cars, when it hit and killed a pedestrian in 2018, pleaded guilty to endangerment and was sentenced to three years of supervised probation Friday, according to officials.
Rafaela Vasquez was watching television on her smartphone in March 2018 when the Uber self-driving vehicle fatally struck Elaine Herzberg, 49, who was crossing a road in Tempe, Arizona, according to a National Transportation Safety Board investigation. Herzberg’s death was the first known fatality involving a fully autonomous vehicle.
A judge in the Superior Court of Maricopa sentenced Rafaela Vasquez to three years of supervised probation and determined that the charge would only be designated a misdemeanor “upon successful completion of her sentence,” according to a news release.
The Uber-employed safety driver behind the wheel of the car was meant to monitor the car’s performance and intervene if the autonomous driving software failed, as previously reported by CNN.
But the National Transportation Safety Board’s 2019 investigation found that Vasquez was looking away from the road for over a third of the trip. The board concluded that the crash was “avoidable” if the safety driver had been alert and also found that an inadequate safety culture at Uber contributed to the crash. The company’s self-driving software wasn’t designed to expect that pedestrians outside crosswalks may be crossing the street, according to the investigation.
“The defendant in this matter was responsible for the operation of a vehicle on our city streets that ended with a woman being killed,” Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell said in the court’s news release. “Determining an appropriate plea in this case involved considering a multitude of factors. We believe the Judge ordered an appropriate sentence based on the mitigating and aggravating factors.”
“Getting behind the wheel of a car is a serious responsibility. Regardless of whatever technology might be available to drivers, safety for everyone on the street and in the vehicle must always be a driver’s first priority,” Mitchell went on.
The plea agreement also stipulates that Vasquez pay restitution “to all victims,” including insurance companies involved.
Vasquez was initially charged with negligent homicide in 2020. She pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Uber reached a settlement with the victim’s family less than two weeks after her death. The company did not face criminal charges. In December, the ride-share giant said it plans to launch a fully driverless service in collaboration with Motional in 2023.
CNN has reached out to Vasquez’s attorney, Albert Jaynes Morrison, for comment. | https://www.channel3000.com/news/money/uber-self-driving-car-test-driver-pleads-guilty-to-endangerment-in-pedestrian-death-case/article_f4383ee2-bc51-5064-a7ec-f26318c89cc0.html | 2023-07-29T19:08:34 | 1 | https://www.channel3000.com/news/money/uber-self-driving-car-test-driver-pleads-guilty-to-endangerment-in-pedestrian-death-case/article_f4383ee2-bc51-5064-a7ec-f26318c89cc0.html |

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas was suspended for five games on Friday and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing at Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ Thursday night, Major League Baseball’s Senior Vice President for On-Field Operations Michael Hill announced.
Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a one-game suspension and a fine due to Mikolas’ actions and missed Friday night’s game against Chicago.
Mikolas is appealing his suspension and will be held in abeyance until the appeals process is complete.

Thursday night, Mikolas plunked Happ in the back during the first inning after one of Happ’s swings hit catcher Willson Contreras in the back of the helmet.
Contreras, who was bleeding from the head, left the game after being checked out. Happ and Contreras hugged it out, and it did not appear there were any hard feelings.

Happ then threw up and in on Happ before plunking him on the next pitch.
The umpires convened before throwing Mikolas out of the game.
"I wish if they thought there was intent behind the first [pitch], then issue a warning after the first one," Marmol said, per MLB.com. "Then, that [warning] kills everything that happened yesterday – rather than waiting around [for the second pitch that hit Happ] and then going straight to an ejection. Once they say it’s intentional, he gets suspended, and I get suspended."

The Cardinals went on to lose Mikolas’ start 10-3 and also lost to Chicago Friday night at Busch Stadium.
Cubs outfielder Mike Tauchman robbed Cardinals pinch-hitter Alec Burleson of a walk-off home run Friday night in the second game of a four-game series.
Mikolas is 6-6 on the year with a 4.38 ERA.

Women's World Cup Daily: Sweden sends message; France bests Brazil
Sweden punched its ticket to the knockout stage of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with a comfortable win over Italy on Saturday at Wellington Regional Stadium.
France won its heavyweight matchup with Brazil in Group F, but neither team will know its fate until the final day of group play after Jamaica made history by beating Panama.
Here's a recap of everything that happened on Day 10 of the tournament and a preview of what to expect on Day 11:
WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED
— Sweden routed Italy 5-0 in the opening match of the day, tying its second-largest margin of victory at the Women's World Cup. It won 8-0 against Japan in the 1991 Women's World Cup.

— Sweden scored three first-half goals in the span of seven minutes, seven seconds. Sweden is the second team to score three goals in one half at this year's tournament after Spain.
— Eugenie Le Sommer, France's all-time leading goalscorer, became the first French player to score at three women's World Cups, and at age 34, she became France's oldest women's World Cup scorer.
— Wendie Renard, who scored the match-winner against Brazil, moved up to second on France's all-time scoring list at the Women's World Cup with five goals. Only Le Sommer (6) has scored more.

— France coach Hervé Renard became the first-ever coach to win a match at the men's and women's World Cup. Renard was the coach when Saudi Arabia beat Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
— Jamaica won its first-ever Women's World Cup match by scoring its second goal ever at the tournament. Panama can no longer advance to the round of 16 with the loss.
— Australia's star striker Sam Kerr said Saturday that she plans on playing in the Matlidas' final group stage match against Canada on Monday. Kerr missed the first two group stage matches with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Norway's Ada Hegerberg and England's Keira Walsh will not play in the group stage finale due to their respective injuries.

— The United States not advancing past the group stage of the Women's World Cup seems unthinkable — but it's a possibility if it doesn't take care of business against Portugal on Tuesday. "The objective is to win the game and get out of the group and hopefully win the group," U.S. midfielder Andi Sullivan said. "It's just survive and move on.

— Not that long ago, it seemed the USWNT was preparing for a Women's World Cup without its defensive anchor, Julie Ertz. Now, Ertz is back to being an invaluable piece of the puzzle. "No matter what position on the field she's in, she wants to know exactly what the objectives are, not just for herself but for the entire team," Sullivan said.

RECAPPING THE DAY
Assist of the Day: Double-header
Kadidiatou Diani could have done the selfish thing and tried to head the ball in herself but instead, she made right play and headed the ball to Eugénie Le Sommer, who had a better angle for the header.
Save of the Day:
Costa Rica's Yenith Bailey was sensational against Jamaica. Without her contributions in goal, the Reggae Girlz might have put the game on ice in the first half.
Goal of the Day: Around the back
Even against Italy's tired and defeated back line, Rebecka Blomqvist's solo run to give Sweden its fifth goal of the match was still impressive. Her soft touch and explosive speed allowed her to pass the ball to herself and create a fast break opportunity, which she calmly finished.
Must-See Moment: Set piece specialists
Sweden scored not one …
… not two …
… but three headers its 5-0 win over Italy on Saturday.
If Sweden keeps this up, its opponents might have to consider putting all 11 players in the box.

Women's World Cup power rankings: Spain takes top spot, USWNT at No. 2
For some of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup’s most esteemed teams, the United States included, the knockout round effectively starts now.
Yes, there is still the third and final group game remaining for the entire field, but for several of the leading contenders the possibility of a premature departure still looms, and there is no room for error.
The USWNT’s action-packed 1-1 draw with the Netherlands was enough to keep the U.S. at the top of Group E, while dropping it to No. 2 in the FOX Sports' World Cup power rankings.
But the Americans go into their Group E clash with No. 22 Portugal knowing that a shock defeat would almost certainly dump them out of the tournament.
They’re not alone.
Having lost to France on Saturday, Brazil faces the prospect of a quick trip home unless it beats Jamaica. Co-host Australia is probably out unless it beats Canada. England, despite two wins so far, would likely be sunk by a defeat to China.
A handful of teams has already been knocked out of contention after only two games, while other groups will head into the final match day with everyone still in the hunt.
Expect plenty more movement in these rankings as teams jockey for position and battle for survival with the final twists of the group stage nearly upon us.

Las Vegas police: Dog left outside dies in extreme heat while owner slept
A Las Vegas woman was charged after allegedly leaving her dog in 114-degree heat with no food, water or shade
A Las Vegas woman faces charges after her dog died outside in the extreme heat while she slept in her house, police say.
Debora Hagen, 55, was arrested July 21 and has been charged with one felony count of willful or malicious killing of an animal, FOX 5 Las Vegas reported. A police report said Hagen left her 10-year-old terrier Abby outside on a sweltering 114-degree day.
Police were called to a home at the Silverado Mobile Home Park north of Las Vegas Boulevard North and Walnut Road July 21 after receiving a report that a dog had died after being left outside.
The responding officer observed a black trash bag in the front yard with a leash near it and could smell a dead animal, according to FOX 5.
MINNESOTA HIGHWAY BUCKLES AMID US HEAT WAVE
The dog's owner, Hagen, told the officer she had let her pet outside to relieve itself. Hagen then went inside and fell asleep, not knowing how much time had passed before her roommate woke her up and told her Abby had died.
Police said the animal was left outside in extreme heat with no access to shade, food or water. Hagen reportedly told police the dog could go under the porch for shade, but the leash had been shortened and she was not sure if that was still true.
EXCESSIVE HEAT BAKES CITIES ACROSS US AS MIDWEST, GREAT LAKES SEE THUNDERSTORMS
Bowls for food and water were found under the porch, but they were empty, FOX 5 reported.
Millions of Americans have been baking for weeks as a heat wave has swept over the nation.
More than 250 million have experienced above-average temperatures for this time of year, FOX Weather reported. There are heat alerts in 26 states as the high temperatures move over the Plains and East Coast.
As July comes to a close Monday, it will make history as the hottest month on record for the planet, partially fueled by relentless heat waves across North America.
SCIENTISTS PREDICT JULY WILL BE THE HOTTEST MONTH ON RECORD GLOBALLY
The FOX Forecast Center said 222 daily record highs have been set this month in 76 major reporting cities.
Americans under heat-related advisories and warnings should be extra cautious as this heat wave will be the hottest stretch of summer so far for many.
Those with outdoor pets should be doubly cautious to make sure they are provided with food, water and shade in the potentially deadly heat.

Hagen is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 17.
